Albrecht Dürer: Een levensbeeld

The biography follows the subject from childhood in a modest household through apprenticeship in a family workshop, documenting early training, formative journeys to Italy, and return to a home city where marriage, a busy atelier, and teaching shaped his career. It examines the development of technical mastery in engraving, woodcut and painting alongside theoretical writings, the relationship with patrons and learned friends, and episodes of public recognition and controversy. Later chapters recount wider travels, mature artistic achievements, and reflections on faith and scholarship, closing with an account of his final years and the preservation of his estate and reputation.
